Here is a question...My STBX moved out a month ago. She watches the kids when I am at work. She continually complains she has no money, blah, blah, blah. She hates the beater car. She only had a drug problem because she was miserable with me (every relative has said to me I always did too much--cleaning, cooking, etc.). She had the affairs....(get the picture?)

Now her mom wants her to move back in for an in-home separation. Her mom says she doesn't WW to "live on the streets". I told WW, the conditions on still coming home stand (drug counseling, therapy and a drug screen and lose the party friends). She then gets all pissy and says "I will not demean myself...!!!blah, blah, blah" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

She has not looked for a job, she never checks her account (she already bounced two checks!) and she always blames this crap on me.

When do they grow up!?!?!?!?!

Looks like her Mom hasn't seen the 'real' daughter yet... but let her move in with Mom and she sure as shootin' will! She'll be kicked out of her house soon enuff' just wait and see.
I applaud your stand - drug tests, therapy, etc. Stand by it!
We're praying for you - God bless you.

b_h,

Stay strong. Let Mom take her in if she wants to enable her. Mom may or may not see the whole picture as denial can run deep. That was a topic at tonights alanon meeting.
